WHAT IS WER?

WER (World Educational Robot Contest) is a unique worldwide educational robotics tournament that promotes intellectual development, competitiveness, and current vision of globalization in elementary, middle, and high school students. The challenges, goals, and dynamics of the WER competition drive the cognitive and social-emotional development of participating students.  


WER is an inclusive tournament that involves schools, academies, clubs, and teams from diverse backgrounds in both the private and public sectors regardless of the size of the institution or its socioeconomic level. 

Annually, more than 600,000 contestants from 30 countries and regions participate in WER contests.

WHY participate in

 WER USA?

WER USA is an inclusive student-centered educational robotics tournament that suits both the most experienced students and someone with no experience. It is always challenging and leads participants to reach their maximum potential. Thanks to our web-based learning model and the dynamics of competitions, the WER USA contest develops in students:

Self-Managed Learning 
 
In WER, students practice and develop:
- Active Learning                
- Self-directed Learning       
 
Students' learning experiences stimulate cognitive and socio-emotional development and encourage students to become self-sufficient.
